In order to properly commemorate our 23rd blog post at SchermCo, it only felt right to center it around the greatest athlete to ever wear #23: Michael Jordan.
Let’s get a few things out of the way first:
- My Dad loved MJ when I was a kid. Naturally, I decided that Penny Hardaway and the Orlando Magic would soon overtake the Chicago Bulls. That didn’t work. As I got older, I grew more interested in MJ and his work ethic.
- I don’t want to hear anything from the LeBron crowd. I love me some LeBron, but MJ was first.
- MJ – If you’re reading this, let’s do lunch. If someone knows MJ, tell him I’m buying lunch.
Anyway, here we go.
My fascination with MJ has only grown over the years. I’ve read a number of books about him (see below for my favs) in hopes of isolating what makes him tick.
Thus, this post is about the 6 characteristics I think made MJ great and how we might be able to apply them to education (or just our day to day lives).
Why 6?
6 rings! Come on now.
